Problems With Newest Update of tcl-1:8.5.2-1.fc9

[Jeffrey D. Yuille]

Hello, 

     I am having problems with the newest update of tcl.  It is causing
a problem with aMSN (which by the way, completely blew up because of
this upgrade).  I've tried to uninstall this version of tcl and
reinstall the older version but every time I do this, it continues to be
updated to the newest version, which aMSN cannot use.  My question is
this: How do I roll back to the previous version (tcl-1:8.5.1-4.fc9)
without it automatically being updated to the newest one
(tcl-1:8.5.2-1.fc9)?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This might work:

Remove the latest (yum or rpm), install the older version, then add tcl to 
the "excludes" list in (if I remember correctly) yum.conf.

Hello, 

     The problem is that when I try to remove the latest version
(tcl-1:8.5.2-1.fc9) and attempt to install the earlier version
(tcl-1:8.5.1-4.fc9), it continues to automatically upgrade to the latest
version.

What tries to automatically upgrade?  If you use rpm ("rpm -e") to
remove the latest 
version, use rpm ("rpm -ihv") to install the one you want, and add tcl.* to the

"exclude" line in /etc/yum.conf, then nothing should try to upgrade
tcl.

Hello:
New updates of both tcl and tk are available and mine got updated
automatically. Earlier I also had problem with updating tcl as has been
discussed here, but this morning's update of both tcl
(tcl-8.5.2-2.fc9.i386)  and tk( tk-8.5.2-1.fc9.i386) went smoothly.
